Beijing's Political Purge

A new episode of Important Chinese Things is out. We talk about the downfall of Zhou Yongkang, once head of the national security apparatus who is said to have amassed 15 billion dollars during his tenure. He is also the highest ranking official to have been charged in recent Chinese history. Many see it as a turning point in PRC. We also talk about the recent plane crash, gas explosion in Taiwan as well as Ghost Month.
